WHat to Look for In a Plumber
Looking for a 'plumber near me' can be daunting; sometimes as daunting as the problem you need them to fix. The first thing to ask a prospective plumber is ask whether they are licensed or not. A plumbing license is not a guarantee of quality, but it does mean a plumber has to have some basic qualifications like passing a background check, passing a contractor exam and completing continuing education requirements. The next question you should ask is whether the plumber is bonded and insured. The plumber should at minimum have workers compensation coverage and general liability insurance.
Be sure that a plumber specializes in the problem you're having. Plumbers specialize in various areas like blocked drains, burst pipes, leaky fixtures even graywater. The best case scenario is the plumber specializes in your problem or has experience in handling similar problems. You should ask them if they've handled your situation before and how they deal with it to get a feel for how they work and their competence to solve your problem. They also should be able to suggest preventative measures, for example burst pipes could be mitigated by pipe insulation.
You should also ask who the work will be done by. The person who answers the phone when you call likely will not be the person who does the work on your project. Many plumbers are actually plumbing companies with employees and subcontractors. It makes sense to ask for details on the person who will be coming to you and working on your project.
Be wary of any plumber who is too quick to give quote you a price without assessing your particular situation by seeing exactly what the situation that needs to be fixed is and determining what it will take to fix it. A plumber too quick to give a quote may be a sign of inexperience with the job or dishonesty with pricing. On the other hand, a plumber too cagey about price is something else to be wary of. If they are not upfront about pricing after having assessing your situation and determining what must be done, that is also a sign of either dishonesty or inexperience. A plumber should be able to tell you if their rates hourly or fixed, and whether the quote contains labor or parts.

HOw To know it's time to Hire A Plumber
Plumbing goes invisible when it's working properly and is overlooked until there's a problem. But besides breakdowns and failures requiring repairs, there are other times when it makes sense to hire a plumber. After all the ideal situation is that you never have to hire a plumber to fix something because you never think about your plumbing because it always functions as it should.
One common situation that can be helped by a professional plumber is low water pressure. Leaking pipes are usually the culprit in cases of low water pressure. And leaky pipes left to their own devices, can lead to the kind of catastrophic failure that requires emergency plumbing services and thousands of dollars in damage.
Another issue that ought to be rectified by a professional plumber is no hot water. No hot water in the wintertime might be the worst case, but we need hot water every day of the year, regardless of season. If there is no hot water coming out of your fixtures, there is probably a problem with the pipes leading to the heater or the heater itself. A professional plumber can find the faulty water lines or the fault with your water heater and repair your water heater or get you a water heater replacement.
Backups and backflow also have to be solved by a professional. When the wastewater cannot drain an flow out of the pipes properly, a backup is present. Backflow happens when the direction of flow within pipe reverses. It is a serious problem because dangerous contaminants can be brought from the sewer system into your home's plumbing and water supply. They can soon flood your home if not tackled in a timely manner. The cause of backflow and backups are usually the same, that is, breaches and blockages. Blockage could be from mineral buildup or something else lodged in a pipe. Another cause of backflow is negative pressure. The pressure in the water supplied to the building is lower than that in the water system. Often this is because air has become trapped in the pipes. Both backflow and backups require the expertise of a professional plumber. Professional plumbers have the tools to remove blockages and if necessary install solutions that can monitor water pressure only allow it to flow in one direction.
Going along with sewer line back up are bad odors in a home or building. They are usually caused by dirt, algae, mold, food, and other debris building up deposits in water lines. Bad smells are a sign that the water is contaminated. Contaminated water is a serious issue because it can make users of the water sick.
In flood prone areas sump pumps are essential to keep below grade spaces in a home free of flooding. Sump pumps pump debris and water from the below grade space outside the home to a drainpipe. If the sump pump is damaged water that would otherwise be pumped outside is liable to overflow into the lower level and cause flooding. Keeping a sump pump in good working order or repairing it when it break is of prime importance. It's not something you want to leave to an unskilled person or non-professional.
